it wasn’t exactly terrible, actually pretty decent but the lack of characterization is why it gets 2 starsbruh i should’ve just left this as a dnf omg
it wasn’t exactly terrible, actually pretty decent but the lack of characterization is why it gets 2 stars. if you’re going to publish your fan fiction you need to remember to give these characters personality. this is now your story so you can’t use the source material characterization as your own. i just feel like a lot could’ve been edited out and that this could’ve been a stand alone because there is no real conflict until the very last page. this book was written with enemies to lovers in mind first and the plot… not even in mind....more
this isn’t my first omegaverse book and it won’t be my last. first thing i noticed about other reviews is that people who’s first venture into omegavethis isn’t my first omegaverse book and it won’t be my last. first thing i noticed about other reviews is that people who’s first venture into omegaverse was this book and honestly you’re missing out if that’s the case, it’s fun! you’ll have to pry omegaverse out of my cold dead hands (pun not intended)but this is my first where they both aren’t werewolves so that was interesting. i also don’t read a lot of published omegaverse books because i feel like they’re painfully straight and they often times miss the point of omegaverse but WHATEVER
i really enjoyed the lore in this book it really feels like ali hazelwood put in her all but unfortunately it seems she forgot to make it interesting…? about 100 pages in i was bored and ready for the plot. i’m aware it’s a standalone so i tried to be patient which caused me to focus on how this absolutely is not an enemies to lovers romance. don’t know why it’s marketed as that when they aren’t enemies? their species are enemies but the two characters just didn’t care for each other? so miss leading!
idk this is my fourth ali hazelwood and it might be my last. i really really really loved the love hypothesis but i don’t think my love for that can ever be replicated again. im very confused as to why people were hyping up this book acting like it’s so great it’s literally so bland omg? i feel like most readers must not have ever read omegaverse before or something so they don’t have anything to compare it to? AMATEURS!...more
this was actually really good it’s not like any mafia book i’ve read so far where it’s super dark or anything like that, it’s fine if they’re dark butthis was actually really good it’s not like any mafia book i’ve read so far where it’s super dark or anything like that, it’s fine if they’re dark but sometimes mafia books tend to read the same so i like that this one is different. i really like the main character in this one. she genuinely was funny. ...more
i had so much fun reading this, it was a bit problematic just how i like em and i loved all of the characters. my favorite thing is when you can tell i had so much fun reading this, it was a bit problematic just how i like em and i loved all of the characters. my favorite thing is when you can tell which romances will happen soon in the series in the books and this one has that. i love the love interests but something about Aria kept making me mad but then i had to remember she was only 18. i felt like it was a bit insta love-ish so of course i had to take off a star :/...more

i like Wolfe a lot better that Vicious and idk why? i wish l.j would give her male characters normal names though? i hate how he realizes that he’s in love with her suddenly and then his whole personality changes and he goes from villain to hero so fast. but i mean regardless i still really enjoyed the story, i went from being upset, to literally the only ass bitch inside me jumping out from the cute scenes, crying to being happy.
i kind of want l.j to do a spin-off that includes the box but also her stories are repetitive and they kind of have the same formula’s of “starting angsty to being really good in the middle to the characters suddenly being in love with each other and then finally the happy fairytale ending”.
i probably sound like i hated this book but honestly i loved it so much ...more
